Nursing Home Reviews for Heartland of Hillsboro

I feel Heartland is the best place we could have found for our mother, who suffers from dementia. ALL OF THE STAFF genuinely care for her well-being and are always in touch with us for even the slightest change of anything. Sure they are understaffed, but so many people are just too darn lazy to work, so you can't hold the facility liable for that fact. All the nurses and aides alike treat our mother like she was their own. She is always clean, has water at the ready to drink, and the place most importantly is CLEAN!!!!!!!

My mom has been a resident here for over 9 weeks now. So far I like what I see. I visit pretty much every other day, sometimes every day, sometimes skipping 2 days in a row. She is well taken care of and they are very kind to her. She has told me often that she doesn't want to leave here; she looks very happy most of the time. Everyone knows her name, and I feel she gets personal care and the nurses take time with her. The kitchen staff are wonderful, as are the ladies who clean the rooms. Most everyone is friendly and seem caring. The facility does not have a nasty odor when you walk into the front door like most rest homes do. If the quality changes I will certainly post a review reflecting that. I'm sure no place is perfect and there are issues everywhere, but saying that I will also say this- you can't please every one, and some people are just nasty and would complain if they found a hundred dollar bill because it was wrinkled. Also not sure that an occasional visit qualifies a person to make a sound judgement call.

Horrible place. They are under-staffed, they do not care for the patients nor do they take their safety or overall health into account. I have seen them allow patients with respiratory staph sit in the hallway and cough continuously, seen them unplug and NOT plug oxygen machines back in, and serve meals cold and not feed the patients that require help feeding.

I visited this facility

Nice staff. All 4 of them. Not enough staff at all. Needs at least 4 more patient aides each shift!! And a janitor/maintenance employee outside. The trash can outside the entrance door at the patient/guest patio has been over full for 5 days now. Food drippings all around it and covered with ants which has trails going underneath the patio table & chairs. The odor isn't pleasant when a picnic is planned out there either. The back door by the therapy room is an eyesore with dozens of cigarette butts & some snack wrappers laying outside the door on the ground. Been there quite some time.
